These episodes were inspired because of our obsession with snacks. We love to fuel our bodies with little bite sized  nutritious food snacks. 

We’ve also talked about adding MOVEMENT snacks into your day as well. 

Now it’s time to add Bitesized Brain Snacks into your week. That's what these episodes will be all about. Bitesized wellness wisdom for lifelong learners. So let’s OPEN UP and satiate our minds.
